What is Dell Outlet doing to be Green?

Dell Outlet is committed to maximizing the re-use or recycling of all returned Dell products. Dell Outlet refurbishes and sells over 90% of all returned Dell systems. The remaining 10% of returned Dell product is resold for parts or recyclable materials (metal, glass, and plastic). Dell's goal is to become the greenest technology company on the planet. We at Dell Outlet believe it's important to consider the environmental impact at every stage in the product life cycle.

Why Buy Refurbished?

Refurbished systems don’t use as much new material or as many new parts as new ones do, which can reduce the environmental impact of your technology purchase. And you can’t beat the quality and value of a Dell Outlet product: Dell Outlet offers some of latest Dell products at a great low price, offers the same limited hardware warranty* and service as if you bought new, and offers you a 21 day Return Policy. Plus, we’re fast: Dell Outlet systems are built and ready to ship, so most products ship within 24 hours of order approval. So, why Dell Outlet? Why not! Dell Outlet offers you the same great products at an even better price, while helping to reduce your impact on the environment. What’s not to like?

What is Refurbished?

Dell Outlet offers three types of refurbished inventory:

Certified Refurbished PCs are laptops and desktops that have been returned to Dell, put through the production process, and then again retested to ensure they meet all original factory specifications. Certified Refurbished systems may have some observable cosmetic blemishes, but they will not affect performance.

Previously Ordered New computers are PCs that were shipped out to a customer who opened the box, but decided to return the system without ever using it. All of these computers have undergone testing and repackaging by Dell Outlet. Previously Ordered New systems do not have any cosmetic damages.

Scratch and Dent products are systems with considerable cosmetic blemishes that do not affect performance. They are a great way to save money while still enjoying Dell Outlet's rigorous rebuilding and testing process. Scratch and Dent computers will not have scratches or pits on the screen, missing or illegible letters on the keyboard, or damage to the touchpad or palmrest.

All refurbished products sold through Dell Outlet include a 21 day Return Policy and a limited hardware warranty*.
